Maybe I don't understand what "it could not step into the code" means, but I've
always been able to debug *my* custom action code in that manner. (You would
not be able to step into the core DTF code, of course, unless you have the
source, have built it yourself, and have all the debugging symbols.)

I keep the .dll and pdb files in the same location but there is no pdb for
the .dll generated from MakeSFXCA application.

That might be a problem with symbols. Did you keep your DLLs and PDB files
in their original locations after you built them?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action
I just tried both techniques the one Chris mentioned is how I've always
debugged my managed custom actions but it did not work with DTF for some
reason. The Debugger.Launch method did pop up the visual studio launch
dialog but it could not step into the code.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Debugging a DTF Managed Custom Action
What I did when debugging some of my DTF code was put a call to
Debugger.Launch() right at the beginning of my custom action. At that
point, I could easily attach and step through the code with the debugger.

There is a way using Environment variables to set a breakpoint, but I've
found that to be more trouble than it's worth. You can put a call at the
beginning of your CA to MessageBox.Show, and then when that pops up, you can
attach to the process then. Make sure you attach to the CA managed
process, not the installer process.
